City of Wolverhampton District Events in July, 2025

In this hands-on workshop, children become eco-architects tasked with designing the perfect miniature home—not for a human, but for a plant! By working with real seedlings and exploring the basic needs of living systems, students learn to think empathetically and creatively. Guided by the question “What would a plant want from its home?”, children explore how living things depend on light, air, water, and warmth to grow—and how architecture can respond to these needs through clever, child-led design.
“Designing for Plants” blends elements of science, citizenship, and creativity into a joyful, memorable experience where the young architect is in charge—and the client has roots!
